Today I’ve started work at Medway Council in Kent as Marketing and PR Manager.
I’ve been working hard over the last few weeks to redevelop designs and content for this site.
I'm Head of Marketing at Medway Council in south east England, as well as a communications consultant.
I've had my own website here since 2001 and since early 2006 I've been writing a blog about communications, marketing and public relations with a focus on the public sector.
I'm married with two young children and live in Whitstable, Kent. Outside work I enjoy running, cycling, caravanning and generally being outdoors.
The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.
I speak regularly at conferences about local government communications, social media and websites.

…I was very impressed with the forward thinking and attention to detail Simon displayed…he thinks projects through carefully but quickly and has a good rapport with a wide range of people, from senior politicians and officers through to colleagues and his own staff.
Fantastic talk by Simon Wakeman on the use of social media in UK local authories.
I have always found him knowledgeable, pleasant and professional…I would happily recommend him to anyone needing a professional advisor in the areas of social media, web 2.0 and public sector communications although it’s worth mentioning that his skill set is much wider than that.
